The Expedition OF 1874.

In 1874 civilian company numbering
Isl men, well armed and equipped,
started from Bozeman for the purpose Of
exploring the reputed gold fields of the
upper Yellowstone. Their chance course
led them along alternate banks of the
river, as necessity required them to cross
il, along the line of broken bluffs which
lie, before us, until reaching the Big
Porcupine, they passed finally to the
south side and thence Travelled up small
tributary of the Rosebud, near the head
of which, under the shadow of Wolf
mountains, dimiv visible, the first hostile
Indians were met. Here a battle follow
ed, and from this point through the long
eventful journey which followed, across
the Big and Little Horn rivers and by
the old emigrant trail back TO the Yellow
stone, almost every mile was marked by
continuous fighting with their persistent
foes.
The very best portion of the Yellow
stone basin was seen by this expedition,
and the result of Its discoveries led to
extension of the upper river, into the
verge of the hostile country. Next year
followed the daring voyage of that veter-
an of northern river navigation, Capt.
Grant March, who in the steamer Rose
bud, passed to point just opposite the
present city of Billings, where for several
years stood giant cottonwood bearing
the steamers name and date of arrival.
The following season came the we'll
remembered fatal campaign Of the Little
Horn in which, though the flower of
our army pershed, the Sioux power was
effectually broken. The region passed
into control of military forces under
General Miles and Fort Keogh was es.
